Here is a link to the article I read, by Krista Ramsey.
In this article Ramsey is talking about how when she saw the Opening Day Parade someone put there kid on a flower pot and then stood on them with his kid in order to see the parade better, and while he was standing on it the flowers went everywhere. She talks about how it makes her mad that someone paid a lot of money for those flowers, and someone works hard for them to look good, and then a selfish person would just ruin them.
The best line in this article would be "I watched your selfish action and felt a slow burn of insult and injustice." This line shows exactly how Ramsey feels about what the man did with his son. It shows how angry she felt, and how wrong she thought it was. Ramsey uses an elevated diction word choice, injustice.This word choice shows how angry and how wrong she thought it was.
Ramsey's writing style in this column is casual. Although she used some elevated diction, she was just expressing her feelings and she wasn't trying to sound fancy. A quote to show this is "And I stood there thinking of all the things I should have said to you and wondering why I didn’t." Krista Ramsey didn't sound professional or like she was talking about anything formal. It was like she was talking to one of her friends throughout the article.
